When using minicom, I've used the ascii-xfr program (included in the minicom package I believe) to doll out files with configurable delays between lines and/or characters. There are definitely systems out there that don't handle overruns via hard or soft handshaking, however lame that is. I don't recall getting this to work with clipboard data, so would usually have to store that data in a named file first. I just noticed a bit in ascii-xfr(1) showing how to configure this capability inside minicom, which would be handy. I've always run it separately, directing the output at the device.
